Panic in Ogbomoso: Residents Flee After School Kidnapping

Panic has spread through Yawota community in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State as residents abandon their homes over fears of another attack. Last week, armed men stormed Yawota Baptist Nursery and Primary School, and also struck schools in Esiele and Ahoro-Esiele. Several pupils and the school principal were abducted in the May 15 incident. Eyewitnesses say many families are relocating to safer areas. School attendance has fallen sharply as parents keep their children at home. Locals are urging government and security agencies to boost surveillance and secure the safe release of the abducted victims.
